Support Michael Lyczak's Road to Recovery

An eternal people pleaser, Michael's restaurant industry rap sheet stretches back ten years in Chicago. He has served, managed, and run events for some of the city's most well-loved inclusive spaces. He told me stories of his early days at the Chicago Diner, hauling gear up to the attic after a Market Days double shift. Without a doubt, this hard working servant to the people could not only utilize, but even deserves all the help he can refuse.

After years of putting other people first, Michael recently held space for himself and paid a visit to an Emergency Room. At the staff's behest, he allowed himself to be checked in, discovering in short time how lucky he'd been to come in when he did. Treatment was administered and sedation applied, working hard within his body to orient him towards a healthier state. In some dark moments, without a positive prognosis, hope for Michael's future was running on fumes. One week on a ventilator is nothing to sneeze at, but we're all gassed to say that he appears on his way to making a full recovery!

Hospitals have a habit of hurting our pockets, and Michael's recent stay is no different. Mike is just a normal guy. An indomitable blue collar art fan. The most introspective and caring soul. Without a rich family member in sight, those of us in his circle see fit to do our best to come together and repay his trusting kindness in currency; You can't put a price on the love of Michael Lyczak. We CAN do our best to give back as good as we've gotten.
